Thank you for the posting on the below. This is my family. We come through James D and Martha Shivers. Maybe, someone out there can solve our new mystery. I have 2 death dates for James D. August 1, 1888 (in famiy Bible) and July 10, 1889 (listed as death date in Marthas pension records). Also, where is he buried? There are several unmarked graves, at the Shivers/Vaughan Cem., and at the William J and Maggie Segraves Cem(small enclosed cem), both of these cemeteries are on Shackleford Road. Also, does anyone know the maiden name of Jane W.?????? Was she a Whittington?????? Martha died in Cook County, GA and is buried at Eldorado Baptist Church Cemetery, Eldorado, GA. Any help gladly appreciated. Carolyn Elkins ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn B.
